melinda, do you know about taking acidophilus along with antibiotics? People usually do know that eating yoghurt to replenish the friendly flora is a good thing; but the acidophilus you can get at the health food store is many many times stronger (more flora) than yoghurt; you'd have to eat just gallons of yoghurt to match the benefits of the acidophilus. Some people don't feel sick when they take antibiotics. I feel horribly nauseated as soon as I take the first one. But if I take the acidophilus capsules, the kind in the refrigerated case, I do fine. I've had to take long courses of antibiotics for Lyme disease three times, and it would have been hell, except I had the acidophilus. My doctor told me to take the acidophilus separately from the antibiotics, btw. I'm mentioning this in case the pills are making you feel sick; but also maybe other people on the thread don't know about acidophilus with antibiotics, and how it keeps you from feeling bad. If you are worried about a vaginal infection, which can happen on antibiotics, you can douche with a few acidophilus capsules emptied into warm water, and it won't happen. This is folk, no doctor told me, I should mention. Lather may say it's silly.
